Which religions does Chinese New Year celebrate?

Answer 1

To a certain extent, yes it does. There are many elements of Chinese New Year that are based on Chinese Folk religion and Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. However, Chinese New Year is first and foremost a cultural celebration of the Chinese culture and therefore it is not purely religious.

Answer 2

No, Chinese new year has the same meaning as the international new year on 1st January, but based on a traditional Chinese calender instead of a modern international calendar. So for each year, the Chinese new year dates are different. Chinese New Year is more of a Chinese festival using traditional Chinese customs and beliefs; and not anything directly to do with religious elements. Just take it literally: it is just Chinese's New Year. Other races will have their own New Years using their own traditional calendars i.e. Malays.

Answer 3

Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.

However, Chinese New Year is also celebrated as a cultural hallmark by non-religious people and people of other religions.

Answer 4

No, the Spring Festival is a Chinese folk custom, which is mainly related to the ancient calendar and has nothing to do with Taoism.

Answer 5

Buddhism
